Mec4d's Beards and Bodyhair are here! Hurray!

Comments

I found the issue why there the geometry was not loaded , the beard and eyebrows was not made using fibers but manually , the long scalp hair was imported via GoZ and that does not work in DS4.5 after importing from 4.0 , beside the double ID problem that is easy for you to fix by saving the files again in your folder as 4.5 version , anything what was made using GoZ does not work , so Now I have to manually import new geometry and rig it in 4.5 to fix it. And that not only with that hair but mostly with everything , 4.5 does not like GoZ from 4.0 and anything that came from using this plugin .. But good to know it was not me .
I found that if you use pure 4.5 setup and stuff it works brilliant without any issue , but some things from 4.0 affect 4.5 and even crash , the bug here is that people install new 4.5 over old 4.0 library and loading up products and genesis base that are not to good atlast some of them , that why I installed fresh one on another system where I never had any version of DS before and everything works like charm and I love new DS , so fast and quick with extra features that allow me to create better product . I hope everyone follow and update soon as it will be the right choice and I know not all plugin are working in the new version but the base prog is very good compared to 4.0 that is a pain for the content creators

I am doing update for the Hair to work in DS 4.5 tonight so tomorrow you can download it from my store and install in the DS4.5 by removing the 4.0 figure and materials from the folders before to avoid problems if you not more use 4.0 , both can't be in the same folder it will be conflict .

your welcome its a great bundle fiber hair/beard and eyebrows, character and clothes love the whole thing.. :) sadly cant use the hair yet as I am using DS 4.5 but I will put the earlier version od DS4 on my other PC later today to use him fully, its 3:50am so I think I will have a sleep first..lol

Sal.

oh that will be great..:) ill hold off reverting back to DS4.0 then. thanks very much just waiting for my render to finish of him with his beard and brows at the moment.

They made already updates to the new GOZ with the DS 4.5 they will not update the old one as there was more as only this bug .. so go forward and use new GOZ that come with in 4.5 Pro and forget about the old ..

if others don;t know or maybe got it already there is another new product in my store for Genesis called elastic shorts , it is a set but the other item is a surprise .. so you get 2 for one at this moment ..

If you mean Neanderthal then yes you can get it already done for DSON on my website, DAZ store is still in process of updating all my products .
If you talk about the Unshaven Beard for Genesis then I can't give you any answer , the product was made for DS 4.0 if DAZ updated it already I don;t know it is DAZ product not mine I just made it

I tested my Neanderthal in Poser and working very well and the beard follow the face movement , and expression without problems and render nice.
If Daz convert the unshaven to 4.5 it will works also but when they do that I don;t know, you should check the store and see

Can anyone tell me how to put over the chest hair without the hair poking through the clothes. Like for example a V-Neck,we the hair shows through the V but not through the actual shirt?

That is an issue with any and all such products - as well as those that have displacement maps. Try this - using the Polygon Group Editor (Alt-Shift-G or vita Tools> menu), select the errant hairs (right-click and change selection Mode) and set them to not being visible (right-click and select Visibility option).

The author of this product (MEC4D) left DAZ store recently (the products which were bought out by DAZ company are still in the store but all others are sold elsewhere). If you want to get support directly from her, you should go to her website (Google MEC4D, is easy to find) and contact her there.

As Simon and Zevo said the best way is to use the polygon editor tool and select the hair with the lasso to turn them invisible , this is only one option the hair was design for the full chest so there is no other option for hide it . The product was made for DAZ but since I made it I just confirm the solution mentioned before .

Don't know where I've been, but I just discovered your incredible Santa character last night, and I bought it right away. I've been wanting that for SO long! I also bought Red Riding Hood because the outfit is so beautiful.

I try the shortcut and click on it in the menu and I see nothing happen...Sorry I'm still really new to this..what is suppose to happen? :down:

The Polygon Group Editor tool is one of the few that does not chnage cursor from default pointer. So, what I'd do is:
In Scene tab, select the bofy hair prop/figure. Hit Ctrl-F to 'frame' it so you get a good, closish view of it (zoom in manually to get a decent look at the affected area).
Select the Polygon Group Editor tool.
Right-click on one of the hairs of the prop and from the pop-up menu find the 'lasso' selection method. Draw a line round the bits of hair you don't want poking through whilst holding down the left mouse button. You should see the selected mesh turn a pale yellow.
Right-click again and from the pop-up menu select the Visibility option to hide the selected polygons.
Go back to the usual pointer tool!

Thanks Zevo .. is there a way to update the Avatar in the forum? as I get error each time I try .. I need to change it badly

The only way I've been able to change mine is to set my avatar to None, so nothing is displayed.. wait about 12-24 hours, then set a new one. Not too sure why that's worked before, but it's worked for me twice now.
Still never figured out how to set a sig.
